No rehearsals

The premiere for Die Walküre went incredibly well. Lovely. Especially the 3rd act was completely astonishing at the premiere. Got a fine review in the newspaper Politiken. It’s so lovely that they mention that the standards of perfection are ready for the complete Ring cycle now.

This week causes a bit frustration. Due to my own tight schedule and different leaves of absence among the singers we have only few rehearsals for “Götterdämmerung”. In addition the rehearsals have been cancelled the last two days because of illness. Anyway, we’ll make it in time, I think. I’m getting impatient. I just want to get started.

Should have attended a performance meeting this morning, but it had fallen out of my schedule, so ten people sat and waited for me at 8:30 a.m. and I didn’t show up. Embarrassing! I hope my apologies were accepted.

Anne is running “Siegfried” and I hear that everything goes very well. Now I just hope that we can get on with “Götterdämmerung” very soon!
